I havnt brewed in over two years and really want to get back into the hobby. I currently have a single tierish brew stand that holds my Boil pot and Mash tun. My RIMS tube is mounted to the stand as well. I have a secondary stand that I had made to fit over my turkey fryer burner. so I can...

I plan on a starting a 15 gallon solera project in a few weeks. The plan is to make a decent base beer transfer it after primary for souring. I made a really decent flanders red a year and a half ago and I'm thinking about using that recipe again since I know it's good. Or I could find a lambic...

I have been making all Grain batches for over two years now. I use a 15 gallon keggle with a 12" domed false bottom. I usually crush my Grain at the brew store but if I'm rushed I'll grind it in my Corona mill. I usually get between 85 and 90 percent efficiency with my grind and the brew...

I need help figuring out what I did wrong. So I'm fairly sure it's ruined already but here goes. I made a berliner with a sour Mash. I mashed at 150 for 60 min and let it drop to 90 on its own over 26 hours. I covered the grain with plastic wrap and wrapped the Mash tun. The next day I...

So Im looking to make my first stout and I want it to be a big one. This is what I have come up with. I dont know if my hop choice is a good one or if my grain choice is right either. Any advice will be good. I also plan on pitching 2 packets of US 05 or 1056. Thanks in advance. I also...

I received this around Christmas time. I have since installed a coffin on my kegarator and this is no longer needed. You get the tower without any faucets. I would recommend replacing the beer line as well since its stained. There are marks on the faucet nuts also from the spanner wrench...

How much head space is to much head space. I currently have a Flanders that have been done for a while. I have a feeling 5 gallons will be done and gone way to soon. I wanted to try and make a bigger batch that will be a Sudo Solera and start with 10 gallons. I found a 15 gallon fermentor on...

After bottling countless bottles, my laziness finally got the best of me and I decided I needed to switch to kegging. I starting looking at options for serving. I almost bought a store bought kegerator then I realzied that only two kegs at a time isnt what I want. I like having a variety of...

So I bought an 18" RIMS tube from brewhardware. I have a question on orientation of the tube however. My brew stand is about 20 in tall. I was planning on mounting it on the side of the stand. The tube is over 20 in long with the cap. Can I mount it on an angle? Also, What is the...

So 10/26/13 I made a 10 gallon batch of my blonde. I intended to sour 5 gallons and pitched 5 gallons of pacman for the other half. I pitched Roselare on the intended sour batch and must have not been as sanitary for my pacman batch. At 2 weeks I cracked my fermentor barrel open to see a nice...

I made a sour blonde the first part of oct. Used a campden tablet at boil and pitched with roselare. On the 31st of oct I pitched half a container of ECY20. It's got a really nasty band aide taste to it. Slightly sour but nasty after thta passes. Is this normal? I have a flanders red going right...

I bought a second revision brew belt that's15w. It has springs instead of friction. I installed the smaller spring since it seemed to fit better on the better bottle. Well I ran it for less then 5 days. I checked on my sour today and the carboy is now a triangle shape. Has anyhow else seen this?

I see threads like this all the time. I decided to check on some of my beers I have going and was planning in kegging this blonde this weekend. This beer will be 3 weeks old on Saturday. The protein blob has been there for a while. The bubbles however havnt been. That is a new development as...

So I made a blonde and split the batch into half pacman and half roselare. It's about 3 weeks old now and the Brett is coming through a little. I have a flanders red thats 5 months old now and it's souring nicely. I bought bug country for the blonde. Should I make a starter and split the bugs...

I attempted to catch something wild about 3 weeks ago. Made a starter Nd threw it in a mason jar. Left it outside for about 4 hours and a few days later I had co2 rafts. I'm right next to a corn field which has been knocked down for a bit. Well were 3 weeks in now and I have about a 1/4 in of...

Normally that wouldn't be a bad thing, but I recently started kegging. I keg conditioned my first keg while waiting for my co2 to arrive. It was primed with 2 oz of sugar for a week. The beer was over 7 weeks old so it was done for sure. Anyhow, I forced carbed it for 2 days at 30 psi. I'm using...

I'm selling my tap a draft system. I used this for one batch of beer and it worked great. Comes with no co2. This is less then a year old. Looking to get 40 for it. I'd prefer local pickup but could ship

I wanted something that wasn't massive and would hold 2 keggles. I plan on switching over to e brewing sometime this year hopefully. I had a bunch of scrap road sign angle iron and my buddy had a bed frame. So we went to town on this project and came up with this. I ended up welding my brinkmann...

I have about 2 bottles left of a "saison" I got tired of waiting for it to Finish and after a month at 80 degrees I pitched some champaign yeast on it. Can I wash this yeast or should I just pitch it. My garage is at a 85 now, which would be almost perfect for that.
